what if instead of “the author’s barely disguised fetish” it was blatantly obvious but done in the most mundane way possible, like you got a 100-foot tall woman in the story but the focus is a complex legal battle about her struggle to get planning permission for a house her size and not much else
get the findom guy in the writer’s room but just before the main character can send hundreds of dollars to a hot babe he realises he needs the money for groceries, so then the show just follows him doing that and taking 10 minutes to decide if spending a lil extra for the organic peppers is worth it Bluesky.
There’s a completely unnecessary courtroom scene in Project Hail Mary (the book) that really feels like Andy Weir just wanted to make his disdain for the legal system known. It’s not necessary to the premise of the story, or even the background.
It’s not enough that this multinational organization has completely seized control over the Sahara for an alien microbe farming operation or nuked Antarctica in widespread geo engineering, but, get this, they even got an exemption from copyright law!
See, that’s how your know it’s fiction.
